Description:

This full-color book fills a gap in our design drawing and presentation publishing list by offering coverage of 3D visualization tools for land planning and landscape architecture. The methods and theories presented in Environmental Modeling, Illustration and Animation focus landscape representation around a core set of ideas that begins to center representation on human experience. Current technology allows designers to model environmental phenomena and space in new and exciting ways that go beyond the two dimensional plane. The models, illustrations, and animations that can be created usher in a new paradigm of landscape representation that can become analytical tools as well as beautiful…
